Error in process filter

[leafarbelm]

Emacs version: 27.1 nodejs-repl version: 0.2.4 Node version: 14.10.1

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open any .js file
2. Execute M-x nodejs-repl
3. digit any expression on the repl (e.g. 5 + 8)

I installed this mode and when i execute any expression in the REPL buffer i get the following errors:

error in process filter: run-hook-with-args: End of buffer error in process filter: End of buffer

and the RELP hang up a little bit, i don't now much about elisp so i was wondering if someone could help me with this?

This is the config i use, nothing especial:

(use-package nodejs-repl
  :config
  (add-hook 'js-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (define-key js-mode-map (kbd "C-x C-e") 'nodejs-repl-send-last-expression)
            (define-key js-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-j") 'nodejs-repl-send-line)
            (define-key js-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-r") 'nodejs-repl-send-region)
            (define-key js-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-c") 'nodejs-repl-send-buffer)
            (define-key js-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-l") 'nodejs-repl-load-file)
            (define-key js-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-z") 'nodejs-repl-switch-to-repl))))

I've also encountered this problem on Emacs 26.3 with nodejs-repl versions 0.2.4 and 0.2.3 and Node versions v14.12.0 and v12.18.4.

Hi, I've also had this problem with Node v16.9.1, nodejs-repl version 0.2.4, and emacs version 27.1

Found a fix on floscr's emacs config! IIRC map! is a Doom Emacs thing so it might not work on vanilla or spacemacs. https://github.com/floscr/emacs.d/blob/master/config.org The specific thing I did was add the following snipped to the end of ~/.doom.d/config.el:

(map!
 :after comint
 :map comint-mode-map
 :ni "RET" (cmd! (comint-send-input nil t))
 :n "<C-backspace>" #'comint-clear-buffer)

I think I have a workaround. It seems that culprit is nodejs-repl--delete-prompt in comint-output-filter-functions.

(defun dp/nodejs-repl-remove-broken-filter ()
  (remove-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions 'nodejs-repl--delete-prompt t))
(add-hook 'nodejs-repl-mode-hook #'dp/nodejs-repl-remove-broken-filter)

This results in duplicated prompt from time to time. But it's better than freezing.

Unfortunately this leads to echoing back the input, which is annoying.

This seems to be working for me so far!

I've released nodejs-repl.el 0.2.5 that has resolved the bug, so I'll close this issue.
